QUESTION: Does Devin White have any future in Tampa? Seems inevitable he’s leaving. I think keeping a disgruntled White is going to be a distraction all year.

ANSWER: Devin White’s future in Tampa Bay will be decided by how he plays on the field and how he handles his fifth-year option off it. If White is going to be a malcontent and a distraction for the Bucs as a way to try to leave the team for greener grass elsewhere, then he has to understand that is going to hurt his chances to cash in with other teams. No team wants a selfish player who hurts a team – even inadvertently, especially one who is supposed to be a team captain.

I was surprised that White skipped over the “holdout” phase and went right for the trade request this offseason. I authored an Open Letter To Devin White column on PewterReport.com on Sunday to try to offer some outside advice. And in that piece, I also pointed out that the legendary Derrick Brooks held out of camp for 11 days in a contract dispute in 2001, but he never wanted out of Tampa Bay.

The biggest question about White is does he care more about money or the Buccaneers? Football is the ultimate team game. Mike Evans and Tom Brady are some of the most unselfish teammates any player could have. I would hope that he’s learned something from them, but at this stage given his holdout from voluntary workouts and his trade request, I’m not so sure.

Evans is the best offensive player in franchise history, yet he’s seen fellow receiver Chris Godwin and Brady make more than him over the past couple of seasons and we haven’t heard a peep from him about money. Evans gives away money to charities hand over fist, while Brady is the greatest quarterback to ever play the game and he’s never been the league’s highest paid at the position.

We’ll see how this plays out, but the Bucs are very excited about rookie linebackers SirVocea Dennis and Jeremy Banks. The first step in moving on from a player is first finding his eventual replacement. We’ll know by the end of the preseason if the Bucs have accomplished that. But yes, this does feel like White’s final season in Tampa Bay at this juncture.

QUESTION: Do you feel that the Bucs are expecting too much from their offensive line? I’m concerned that only Ryan Jensen will be playing his normal position with the team.

ANSWER: The Bucs are rolling the dice with this revamped offensive line for sure. I’m not concerned about Tristan Wirfs’ move from right tackle where he’s been an All-Pro and a two-time Pro Bowler to left tackle. The 6-foot-5, 345-pounder can jump out of a pool like a superhero. Wirfs has the athleticism to make the move to protect the QB’s blindside, and I’m going to give him the benefit of the doubt to play left tackle until he proves otherwise.

Wirfs is a pro, as is Jensen, who should be fully recovered from his knee injury by the start of training camp and ready for contact. Jensen was medically cleared to play in the Bucs’ playoff loss to the Cowboys in January, but it was a rough outing as he was not back to 100% at that time. If Jensen can return to form this year, it will be a big boost to the Bucs offensive line.

Veteran left guard Matt Feiler should come in and solidify the left guard spot and add some power to that side of the ball. Lining up the 330-pound Feiler next to the 345-pound Wirfs should allow the Bucs to run to the left side with ease. Feiler is the fall back option at right tackle in case Luke Goedeke falters, but the team has him penciled in at left guard, which is his more natural position.

Speaking of natural positions, the Bucs are hoping that right tackle feels more like home to Goedeke than left guard did. Goedeke started at right tackle for two years at Central Michigan and had his best-graded game at right tackle in his only start there last season in Week 18. This might be the biggest gamble the Bucs are making, but Goedeke will have the entire offseason and all of training camp and the preseason to adjust to playing right tackle in the NFL. Time is on his side.

Moving college left tackle Cody Mauch to right guard in the pros is another risk the Bucs are taking. And it makes the right side of the line with Mauch and Goedeke a bit suspect until they prove that they can handle these position switches. Having a great communicator like Jensen next to Mauch will be invaluable though, and the rookie from North Dakota State is quite an athlete. While some linemen can struggle with position switches, remember that Ali Marpet excelled at both guard spots and spent a year at center in Tampa Bay.

QUESTION: What do you think the most likely starting interior defensive line ends up being – Calijah Kancey, Vita Vea and Logan Hall? Do they bring in anyone else?

ANSWER: I think that’s the defensive line that Bucs head coach and defensive play-caller Todd Bowles wants to field this year. It gives him two fast, athletic defensive tackles in Calijah Kancey and Logan Hall that can penetrate the line of scrimmage and make sacks and tackles for loss. And with Vita Vea, the Bucs still have a big, powerful presence in the middle of the defensive line who will command double teams.

The biggest question would be what happens against 12 or 13 personnel (two and three tight end sets), short yardage and goal line situations. Do the Bucs have enough beef up front with that trio to effectively stop the run? On paper, the answer is no. Kancey weighs 284 pounds, while Hall is up to a reported 296 pounds. Vea is somewhere around 350 pounds.

But I don’t think Bowles wants to put Kancey in at defensive tackle for short yardage and goal line situations as a rookie. Not in the middle of the defense, but perhaps at defensive end. So who would line up next to Vea? Right now, the options are limited outside of 314-pound newcomer Greg Gaines. Perhaps it’s 305-pound backup nose tackle Deadrin Senat, if he makes the team.

The Bucs can get away with having a smaller, quicker, more athletic lineup along the defensive line as long as Vea stays healthy. Gaines can be a capable reserve nose tackle and fill the role that Rakim Nunez-Roches did the past few years in Tampa Bay. But if Vea gets hurt, Tampa Bay’s size along the defensive line shrinks considerably. That’s why the Bucs still have 300-plus-pounders Will Gholston and Akiem Hicks on standby.

QUESTION: Is there a free agency update on Logan Ryan and Will Gholston?

ANSWER: The Bucs haven’t necessarily closed the door on either safety Logan Ryan or defensive lineman Will Gholston. The regular season doesn’t start tomorrow, and the Bucs would like to use their available roster spots on some newer, perhaps unproven players (newcomers and rookies) this summer to see what they can do first. No other teams appear to be beating down the door for the 32-year old Ryan or Gholston, who turns 32 in July.

Remember, Tampa Bay signed former Bucs outside linebacker Carl Nassib in August prior to the preseason game against the Titans. The team could do the same with Gholston, Ryan or even Nassib or Akiem Hicks if necessary. All four were on the roster last year, and Gholston and Nassib have spent extensive time in Todd Bowles’ defense.

The Bucs will have an extra defensive line spot available behind Vita Vea, Logan Hall, Calijah Kancey, Greg Gaines and ace special teamer Pat O’Connor. Does that go to Deadrin Senat, Mike Greene or Willington Previlon? Or would the Bucs benefit from bringing in a bigger presence like Gholston or Hicks? We’ll find out later this summer.

QUESTION: I’m all-in on John Wolford. What about you?

ANSWER: Well, I wouldn’t say I’m all-in on John Wolford. As a third-string quarterback, I’m not opposed to Wolford. But I don’t think he’s in Tampa Bay to challenge Baker Mayfield or Kyle Trask for the starting job.

Wolford, who stands just 6-foot, 200 pounds, is even smaller than the 6-foot-1, 215-pound Mayfield. It’s a signal that new offensive coordinator Dave Canales does not care about size at the quarterback position, especially after working with 5-foot-11 Russell Wilson in Seattle. Bruce Arians wanted big, tall pocket passers, but Canales wants more mobile quarterbacks who can run bootlegs and waggles.

Wolford has the mobility to play the position, and spent the last three years with the Rams organization as a backup to Matthew Stafford. He was on a Super Bowl-winning team, so he brings some of that experience to the table, even if it comes with very limited playing time.

But Wolford is very smart and has a good understanding of Canales’ offense, which has some roots in the Rams system due to Seahawks offensive coordinator Shane Waldron’s past in Los Angeles. Wolford was Mayfield’s teammate last year for about five weeks at the end of the season when the Rams claimed him off waivers. So there is some familiarity and camaraderie between the two veteran QBs.

Remember, the Bucs didn’t have a lot of cap room this offseason. So finding a cheap backup was paramount. Wolford won’t make the 53-man roster because he’s not talented enough, and ultimately the Bucs were looking for a practice squad veteran like they’ve had the last two years with Ryan Griffin.
